Chapter 70: Trouble

It turned out that the old man was a beggar on the side of the street. Today, after she left, the old beggar kept looking outside their shop. Lin Cai saw that he was pitiful, so he gave him two meat buns that he hadn't finished eating in the morning. Everyone can guess what will happen next. After he ate it, he lay here and kept calling, and now he has been calling for half an hour. They wanted to take him to the hospital, but he didn't comply, so he kept calling there. As more and more people crowded here, his cries became louder and louder.

"You mean you gave him the meat bun we didn't finish in the morning?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the old man in front of him with a smile and said, "Listening to what he said, I thought I had eaten the pastries in our store, but it turned out that I didn't eat our pastries at all, but ate our breakfast." ”

"Pastries are what we use in our business, and we don't usually have enough to sell! I thought that the meat bun was also delicious and could withstand hunger, so I gave it to him. Where did I think of helping a person who was messing around. Lin Cai said guiltily: "Sister, what now?" Report to the police? ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Have you forgotten that I know how to heal? Meng Yuxuan pinched the old man's wrist and said with a smile: "Old man, you are poisoned, I will help you treat it." ”

The old man retracted his hand and exclaimed unhappily, "What kind of medicine do you know as a woman?" I don't believe it. I'm poisoned, and you want to make money and kill you. ”

"Do you have wealth?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the old man with disdain. "Alright, old man, don't pretend. You didn't hit the ...... at all."

Meng Yuxuan grabbed her wrist again and took his pulse. Before she finished her words, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the old man in front of her in shock.

The old man tilted his head and looked at her in pain. His lips began to turn purple and his eyes darkened. He said bitterly: "I said it all, I was poisoned." ”

Hiss! The crowd exclaimed.

Looking at the old man's appearance, is he really poisoned? But it shouldn't! How could Xi'er Niang do such a stupid thing? Her business is so good, how can she harm herself?

Their first reaction was that someone had secretly poisoned her pastries and wanted to make her shop untenable.

"Sister-in-law, my acupuncture bag." Meng Yuxuan said to Lin Cai.

Lin Cai was already frightened. Listening to Meng Yuxuan's words, she hurriedly responded: "Oh! I'll go get it right away. ”

Lin Cai was about to run back, when she saw a chubby girl suddenly run over and hug her, carrying her and rushing into the store. The fat girl is Lingying, and she said anxiously: "Where is the acupuncture bag?" I'll run faster, you give me something, and I'll send it to Madame." ”

Lin Cai had long known that Meng Yuxuan had added a few people this time, one of whom had a seriously ill mother, and Meng Yuxuan was going to pick up that woman just now.

These are all things that have been said by the servants who have just come. Therefore, Lingying carried her like this, she was only startled at first, and she was not so nervous after guessing her identity.

Lin Cai took out the acupuncture bag and handed it to Lingying. As the name suggests, the Lingying people ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Madame, here you go." The warbler ran out of breath.

Meng Yuxuan took the acupuncture bag and said, "Thank you." Help your mother in and rest! I'll deal with it here. ”

"I want to protect Madame. My mother can hold out for a while. Lingying thought about it, shook her head and said.

"Slave and maid help this aunt to go in and rest! Anyway, the slaves can't help here. Hui Ling, who had been standing in front of the store, walked over and said in a low voice.

"Then it's going to bother this girl." Lingying said happily. "I remember you, your name is Huiling."

Meng Yuxuan ignored what the two new girls said. She stuck the needle intently, watching the old man's reaction.

Hui Ling helped Wang into the house. Hui Ling's godgrandmother's surname was Zhang, and at this time she handed Lin Cai and Lingying a glass of water each. And the little boy kept looking at the old man.

After a few stitches, the old man's face slowly softened. He opened his eyes and said weakly, "Am I not dead yet?" ”

"If you want to die, don't die at my doorstep. Who sent you? Why slander us? Meng Yuxuan said coldly.

The old man grinned and closed his eyes again.

Meng Yuxuan frowned and stabbed him a few more times. This time, he quickly opened his eyes.

"I'm dying of eating your stuff. I have not slandered you. It's simply that your stuff is poisonous. The old man said stiffly.

"Really? The meat bun my sister-in-law gave you was our breakfast. Only a fool would think that we would poison our own breakfast. Besides, you are a beggar, you have no money and no power, what are we going to poison you for? Is it just to let everyone misunderstand us and add bad luck to ourselves? Do you think everyone else is stupid? ”

Meng Yuxuan stood up and looked down at the old man lying on the ground.

"This old beggar is really not a thing. Lin Cai took pity on him, and he calculated them instead. The neighbors next to him listened to Lin Cai's words, how could they not understand?

It's just that they understand that it's useless, and if the guests who heard the news knew that something like this had happened, how would they dare to buy their pastries again?

Throw plenty of dirt and some will be sure to stick. The world does not understand the truth, and listening to the wind is the rain. Even if someone comes forward to explain, not many people will believe it, they will only think that it is an excuse.

The old beggar had just woken up, and his face was still very bad.

He shuddered, "Say whatever you want." Anyway, I was poisoned by eating your stuff. Your stuff is poisonous. ”

"Old man, have you been threatened by someone? You are an old beggar, Xi'er Niang has no enmity with you, what are you doing to slander her? Did someone else ask you to do it? The blacksmith shop owner said bitterly, "You can be honest!" Don't be afraid, we can ask the prefectural magistrate to call the shots. ”

"I was poisoned by her. I'm dying. The old beggar sat up, patted his thigh, and wailed, "My life is miserable! If you don't have enough food and clothing, you will be poisoned. ”

"This old beggar seems to be a little familiar!" In the crowd, a young man said, "Is he the grandfather of the girl who sang the song?" ”

The old beggar trembled, his eyes flashing with anxiety and panic.

He tilted sideways, avoiding the young man's gaze.

Meng Yuxuan noticed his strangeness, looked at the young man who spoke, and said, "Do you know him?" ”

The young man didn't expect Meng Yuxuan to talk to them. He stammered, "He is the grandfather of the girl who sings a little song in Ronghua Restaurant." A few days ago, I saw him playing with the girl. ”

"Ronghua Restaurant? I remembered. Lin Cai exclaimed: "Some time ago, you went back to the village, and the owner of the Ronghua Restaurant sent someone to look for you. They want to buy the recipe for our pastry. I remember you saying that these recipes are all ancestral and can't be sold, so I refused. Is it because of this that he holds a grudge? ”

"This Ronghua Restaurant is too much, isn't it? You are only buying and selling with small capital, and it has not affected their business. How can it be done to you in this way? In the crowd, the neighbors said angrily.

"I don't know anything. I don't understand what you're saying. The old beggar cried out in fear, "I beg you, as if you don't know anything!" I want to save my granddaughter. She's still in that brute's hands! ”

"I see." Everyone suddenly realized.

"Xi'er Niang, you can't just let them go. You'd better report to the police! The neighbors were indignant and came up with ideas.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the old beggar who was trembling, nodded and said, "Everyone can help me testify." This matter really needs to be done by the county magistrate. ”

"Don't! This lady, I was wrong. Please, don't report to the authorities. You just think I haven't been here! The old beggar hugged her leg and wept pitifully.

"You didn't take the poison just now, and I only took the poison when I helped you take your pulse. They gave you poison? Meng Yuxuan said: "Why don't you listen to their arrangement?" ”

"I don't want to die. If I take poison, I won't survive. Although they lied to me that they would give me an antidote, but I am not stupid, they must have wished I died. If you're dead, you're in trouble. I still want to take care of my granddaughter alive, how can I die? But just now you said that you wanted to take the pulse, and I was anxious when I heard it, so I had to force myself to eat it. The old beggar cried.

"Xi'er Niang, this old man is quite pitiful." A woman sympathized with the old beggar's plight and tried to intercede for him. "Otherwise, spare him!"

"My aunt is very right. But he was the most powerful witness. One sentence of him is worth ten of us. If he didn't come forward, the sewage on my body would not be easy to wash off. ”

Meng Yuxuan was in a dilemma. The old beggar held on to her legs. She is a young woman being held by an old man like this, and the picture is really ugly.

"What's going on here?" A clear voice came from the back of the crowd. "Lord Chincha is here, what do you look like when you're so noisy?"

"Chincha-sama?" Everyone was shocked, and immediately stood on a path, looking for the legendary Lord Chincha.

Behind them, a sedan chair was parked, and next to it stood a number of officials.

The person who spoke was not wearing the clothes of an official. He walked back, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and said to the people inside, "My lord, please." ”

A foot in blue boots stretched out, and a tall man in a blue robe stepped out. The man wore a fox face and looked at everyone with a pair of indifferent eyes.

Hey? Everyone looked at the legendary Chincha-sama suspiciously.

"Xi'er Niang, isn't that your cousin?" Hu Shi, the proprietress of the noodle restaurant next door, pulled her sleeve and said, "What's going on?" Your cousin is Chincha-sama? ”

Meng Yuxuan's surprise in her heart was no less than theirs, but she didn't show it.

Shen Chenzhi......

What is he playing again?

At this time today, it should be another Shen Chenzhi who came out, right?

This Shen Chenzhi is very evil, and it is not easy to control at all.

Also, he is actually a chincha.

When I saw his official seal, I guessed that he was an official. It's just that the official seal isn't here with her? Can you take office without an official seal?

"What's going on here? What are you doing? The man who spoke just now said, "If there is any grievance, Lord Chincha will make the decision for you." ”
